International Workshop on Tethered Polymeric Chains; Minneapolis, Minnesota; May 30 - June 3, 1991

新聚合物材料的开发涉及聚合物的新排列。 单体，就像开发新的单体一样。 最近， 人们的兴趣集中在吸附在表面上的聚合物表面活性剂上。 嵌段共聚物或末端吸附聚合物具有两亲性， 特征，这意味着它们倾向于形成聚集体或 微结构如胶束、微乳液、层状结构和 单层。 链条被束缚在这些结构中， 都是通过末端连接的 本次研讨会的目的是 来自许多国家的研究人员与实验和 在拴系聚合物链的各个方面的理论经验， 讨论最新问题，推进对 这类重要的聚合物材料。 Proceedings of the 研讨会将出版。

Development of new polymeric materials involves new arrangements of monomers as much as it does development of new monomers. Recently, interest has focused on polymeric surfactants adsorbed on surfaces. Block copolymers or end-adsorbing polymers have amphiphilic character, meaning that they tend to form aggregates or microstructures such as micelles, microemulsions, lamellae and monolayers. Chains are tethered in these structures in that they are attached by their ends. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from many countries with experimental and theoretical experience in all aspects of tethered polymer chains to discuss the latest issues and advance the state of understanding of this important category of polymeric materials. Proceedings of the workshop will be published.
